..."Taxi" S1 (1978-79)!

Remember how I said that I had the opportunity to rent it out from Netflix, and how hard I laughed at it? I thought to myself, both during my viewing of it and after, 'this one's a keeper.' I believe I even told my father the same thing. Well, today, for Christmas, I finally got the full season set. This is the one that I had regretted passing up in the Wal-Mart, because I didn't think it was any good. I was proven wrong (I was floored, even) by how good and wonderful it was when I tried it out from Netflix. This and "Mary Tyler Moore" (the first two seasons of which I have of that) are two of my favorite comedies of the past. Sure, the "Taxi" discs may not have any bonuses to them, but you can't fault Paramount or anyone for that-- I'm just glad to have the first season's worth of "Taxi." This, because I am a chronological arranger when it comes to television discs, means that I have an uninterrupted string of television seasons from 1977 ("CHiPs" S1) to 1986 (the end of "Moonlighting" S2).

I know I may sound like a broken record, but I'll tell you the truth-- my expression wouldn't have been the same had I gotten any of the '90's sitcoms instead of this.

To continue, what kind of television series did you get for Christmas if you got any?

No tv shows just some fancy chocolate and underwear.
I was going to order seasons 1 and 2 of Scooby Doo, Where are you? but crazy amazon jacked the price up from 25.00 to 46.00

for christmas i got i love lucy the second season, family tie the second season and macgyver the first season.

Miami Vice: The Complete Series.

That's a good gift! I love that show. :)


I received The Odd Couple : The Second Season. My mom said she had a hard time finding it here. The clerk at Circuit City didn't know what she was talking about. :rolleyes:

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SEASON ONE
FRASIER SEASON FOUR
WINGS SEASON FOUR

My sister got me Seasons 1-5 of 24 for Christmas. I've been holding out getting those until the price went down. She told me she found them at Target for 19.99 a season!!

I didn't know that you love "Taxi." Do you also love "The Odd Couple"? It would seem by your response that you do.

I unexpectedly got a DVD player. Now the hard part is deciding what to get on DVD.

I got season 6 of the Cosby Show for Christmas

If you're looking to start up a library, why not "Taxi," like I got, or "Mary Tyler Moore," which I also have. I think those are some good starters. You might even try "Hawaii Five-O"-- that, IMHO, was a good one.

I received volume 1 and 2 of The Time Tunnel.That's the complete run.

Beverly Hills, 90210- Season 3
One Tree Hill- Season 4

M*A*S*H: Martinis and Medicine Collection

Good suggestions. I might get MTM season 1, and maybe "Match Game".

Thank you very much. I hope that you get some good ones.

What somebody said reminded me of something:

I also got a DVD for Christmas I already had: 30 ROCK SEASON ONE.

I made the mistake of mentioning to the person that I liked the show without working in that I already had the series' only DVD volume.
